> Builder's Concrete & Supply of Fishers, Ind., was fined $4 million in an ongoing price fixing scandal. A judge said he wanted to impose a stiff fine without putting the five-plant producer out of business. Federal prosecutors had sought an $11.5 million fine. The government accuses company president Gus "Butch" Nuckols III of hosting fellow schemers at his horse barn, where they discussed fixing concrete prices.
